Bored out iron p200 barrel with suzuki piston and head- early 80s conversion?

Anyone any idea what these are like and worth? A mate has asked but i'd not heard of them.

broady did a 220 suzy conversion. but that was based on a malossi barrel. chiselspeed did a 220 using an AUTISA barrel, and a shop from sheffield (was it steel city scooters?) did a polini /kawasaki conversion. never heard of a standard p2 barrel with a suzuki coversion. seen a few standard barreled 225"s, and done a few "top skimmed, pack plate underneath" conversions on p2"s. beedspeed , until recentley , sold a 225 standard complete top end, but no oversizes on the piston, so if it went bang, you were nackered. suppose it would be worth the price of the piston , and the re-bore for it to fit, unless so black magic has been done to the barrel.

i had a polini /suzuki 225 a few years ago dine by pm tuning!!
was mental while it lasted!!Not long tho!

Cheers, bit intrigued might have to go and look at it now .

they did exist - beedspeed did it when mark broadhurst was associated with them - very little work to the barrel and it used either a RM 250 or TS piston(70.00mm). Needed work to the piston repegging etc. Think they may have been single ring which led to problems. Have been thinking about doing one for ages for a bit of fun with a well bored barrel (which is a currently a door stop). Maybe next year! (sh#t thats month after next better get me skates on)
Would certainly like to get me hands on one for a good look. so if theres one on offer let me know.

if its apart can you post or pm me some pics of the piston and head
cheers
